I write, and I'm a family guy. For nearly two decades I was a writer and editor for daily newspapers in the US (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe), reporting on topics ranging from crime to public education, race and ethnicity, business development, and the entertainment industry. I also contributed to news and culture magazines and was an occasional on-air contributor to NPR, PRI, CNN, and local NBC and CBS affiliates.
These days, I work in PR and reputation management. And I write fiction - crime/suspense, a mash-up of mystery and fantasy, and a bit of historical fiction loosely inspired by a true story about POWs in WW II.
I'm on Wattpad to read and get inspired to complete or refine my own writing projects.
